Putnam County approves one-time $50,000 flooring payment in MOU for South Putnam Church office space
Summary
The Board approved an MOU allowing county use of South Putnam Church office space for Parks & Rec and clarified the $50,000 capital improvement payment is a one-time contribution specifically for floor renovation; the MOU includes a prorated repayment clause over a 20-year term if terminated.
Putnam County commissioners approved a memorandum of understanding that formalizes county Parks & Recreation use of office space at South Putnam Church and includes a clarified one-time $50,000 capital improvement payment for floor renovation.
Board discussion centered on the need to clearly state that the $50,000 is a one-time, capital-only payment for flooring and not an ongoing annual commitment. Legal counsel noted the MOU contains a repayment clause: if the church terminates the MOU within the initial term, the county’s $50,000 investment is to be repaid on a prorated basis for the remaining term; commissioners asked staff to make the payment’s one-time nature explicit in the document.
The MOU's stated intent is to provide written legal authority for county recreational use of the facility and to formalize shared responsibilities, with the county to be responsible for the $50,000 renovation cost and the church to maintain the facility in lieu of rent. Commissioners approved the MOU with the clarified language.
